can it clean grout between tiles

Hello, yes it can when it is working properly. I love this thing, but it sometimes"spits up" h2o instead of just stream...it eventually starts acting rite throughout the cleaning process. Still a good buy for the amount of money

You can split this answer down to as fine a line as you care to draw. The answer is both "yes" and "no". Some people are satisfied with clean meaning "germ free" which steam will certainly accomplish. Others aren't satisfied until clean means "bright white" or at least original color... and I don't think you'll see that change... and if you did, you have scrubbed the little bristle brushes completely free of bristles. You need to really saturate a grout with a chemical cleaner if you want it that kind of clean... and then consider sealing it with something as you would a porous countertop. Regardless, I wouldn't count on this little steamer to do that kind of a job. Hope this helps. You can split this answer down to as fine a line as you care to draw. The answer is both "yes" and "no".

Yes, that's why I bought mine so I can work on the grout. Does pretty well.

The short answer is no. This chisel bit is meant for use in removing already existing tiles. To remove grout, would recommend some type of roto tool with a bit diameter that does NOT exceed the width of the grout space between any two tiles.

There is a limit how much it can clean the grout. If it clean (WHITE) then it keeps them clean and white but if it is already dark/dirty it wont make them white again! But it does clean quite well. Remember it is a compact unit and it does not compare with large floor units (industrial type)

Removes surface dirt, but doesn't "scrub" grout completely clean like a toothbrush and elbow grease. But once you do that, would probably keep it clean.

I'm sure you don't mean to ask if this brush removes "grout". I generally keep it wet, then brush, and use it both with and without detergent.

Yes. The FloorMate does a great job on tile, not so great with the grout though.

this product works great. I have pale cream grout and it did fine. You may however try a small patch under something to make sure.

I do not know I have not used this on grout very much. Although i have used it on our school bathroom floor and it seemed to clean up ok. I did not pay real close attention to that because the grout is not that dirty. Sorry i could not help you out more.

It does. The secret is to follow the directions and give it enough time. Best grout cleaner ever!

I have used it on my kitchen that has ceramic tile floors. It does not really get the grout clean. I have found that a grout cleaner like Zep is the only way if you want the grout really bright. You can get Zep grout cleaner from Amazon. The Hoover cleaner is a fantastic machine especially for carpet, but I wouldn't buy it just for tile.

It probably would... the bristles are very stiff and it would be hard to use to clean grout using a drill.

I used it on bathroom grout and it restored the tiles to like new. Was very impressed. It's not terribly expensive. Worth a try.

The Oreck comes with a little brush attachment for grout. My grout is all dark, so it's kind of hard to tell, but I know it is sanitizing it and getting rid of mildew. I think to be truly clean, though, you would need to wipe with a cloth after you run the steamer over the grout lines. I like this steamer a lot--it really works well on my tile floor. It is heavy, but I think that makes it clean better.

Didn't buy it for that and haven't tried it on grout. I clean my grout with water, oxy clean and dawn dish soap with a stiff brush..

It will remove mildew from both grout & caulk. Caulk color will not be fully restored. You'll need to scrub this product long & hard with a toothbrush or something similar to achieve these results. In my experience, Tilex works better with less scrubbing.

Absolutely not. It will get it moist and make it easier for you to scrub the grout out. But will not lift it out.

The answer is "it depends". It depends how dirty the grout is. I use it all the time BUT I still need to scrub to get cleaning done. This is hot steam NOT a power washer.
